[AccessD] Offtopic: Word, macros and applying styles to paragraphs

The quick answer to your question is "yes."  Word has a VBA object model
every bit as rich as Access.  I have a macro that does something close to
what you want.  Rather than having a hot-key for each style, it has a single
hot key that pops up a form containing a list box with style names.  The
style names are loaded from a text file.  Any of this could be changed if
you want something with fewer key strokes.  If you are interested I could
send it to you off-list.

I actually have a bunch of Word macros that do various useful things like
this.  I should get up the initiative to post them on my web site.

I am working on formatting existing word documents to use styles from a
document template.  I can select text and then click on the style, select
the style and apply that style to the selected text.  I'm wondering if Word
has a "macro" system that I could use to apply hotkeys to macro styles so
that I can just tap hotkeys to apply the styles to the paragraphs selected?
